Can we bring big brother Braily back to play lock on the cheap?

Can we bring big brother Braily back to play lock on the cheap?

Well, it would want to be on the cheap because the K-Niggets pay him $550k. Needs a solid full season with a large injection of luck to get it back

 

[Stake Removed]

The balance of the pack is still off. Trindall (90kg/5'11") could probably play lock and before everyone says he's too small he's pretty much the same size as Cam Murray (90kg/6') and Vic Radley (92kg/5'11") with a kicking game which they don't have. But what the Roosters and Rabbits have that we don't is behemoths in front of the lock to balance their packs. Although I would love to have a 5th spine player in the form of a lock The Sharks have to play a bigger and/or harder body to balance out the deficiency in size ahead of the lock.

My concern is that Sifa would lose some of his silk and be a pack horse. Has the skills to be a Spine 5 player but also has the build and strength to fill a Finucane/McInnes type role.

I wonder if anyone else has an elephant in the room. I do. I think suggestions need to be made to Finucane about retirement. He hasn't gone forward in any way since he came to us really and in terms of onfield role The Sharks have only gotten 30 games out of him in 2 years and 2 were semis. He's in the crock pot and very nearly done.

In relation to Finucane his salary now is in favour of us going forward.
His best football was under Bellamy, and only in last week Bellamy said Storm have a leadership problem.
Would there be an option that the Storm would be interested in taking him on.
It would though mean we lose a lot of experience

His salary this year is still hefty.
Next year is when it becomes more realistic for what he is providing.

 

[Miller was a legend]

But who is going to take on the job of running out the tunnel weally weally fast?

Excellent thoughts, I agree with everything.

Radley and Murray can play 80 min . Not so sure about Sifa. Maybe off the bench this year. Bring on Stonestreet and Calhoun with more NRL time.

AFB saying how committed he is to the warriors etc etc part of me is thinking ( dreaming ) he is saying all the right things to come out in a month or 2 and say his personal issues have changed and need him to return to Australia unexpectedly early
